Introducing Krav Maga Classes for Adults

Great Lakes National Karate is now offering Krav Maga classes. The Krav Maga program helps adult students learn an extremely effective self-defense system developed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The Krav Maga technique is in fact used by law enforcement and intelligence organizations around the world.

Krav Maga self-defense is a simple yet powerful technique designed to quickly overcome an attacker of any size. Even if they have a weapon or approach you from behind, you will be able to fend them off. Additionally, the Krav Maga technique equips you with situational awareness training which will even help you recognize potential threats in your surroundings, helping to prevent an attack from occuring.

National Karate's Martial Arts Technique

National Karate and Kickboxing (or just NK) is an "Americanized" form of Karate with roots in Tae Kwon Do and Karate. "Americanized" means that instead of teaching just one style, our instructors teach best aspects of other styles in order give students the best self-defense training available. For instance, Judo has the best throws and take downs, so in addition to teaching Karate and Tae Kwon Do, we will also teach our students the best moves that Judo has to offer. Boxing has the best punching techniques, and we jump into other forms of martial arts such as Akido, Hapkido, Kickboxing, Kendo, Krav Maga and weapons defenses. Our program also incorporates state-of-the-art physical fitness training techniques so you will be working out while learning and having fun!

National Karate's first karate school opened up in 1973 in Minneapolis, MN. Today, National Karate has 22 locations in Minnesota, 4 in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago and our location in New Berlin, making us the Midwest's largest martial arts organization. Having taught more than 60,000 students and currently training more than 6,000 active members, National Karate and Kickboxing is truly the largest and most prestigious martial arts organization in the Midwest.
